Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi Saovry sok,

Sorry, but i'm not aware of Khmer input methods, so I don't know how you use keyboard when you write in Khmer on computer.
But I think in AutoCAD you need special font for using Khmer language in annotations:

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD for Mac forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I downloaded a font with this name but it only shows Roman characters. Can you share the font you are using so I can try it on my Mac?

Hi John,

>>>>>I downloaded a font with this name but it only shows Roman characters
Have you added Khmer keyboard in macOS System preferences?
Maybe I'm not correct, but I think you can get Khmer characters only if you are using Khmer keyboard.

Hi @maxim_k,

It took a reboot for some reason. I can now enter Mtext in KHMER and the characters match when I print to PDF. The problem that @Anonymous is experiencing might be specific to the font definition or the specific characters being used.

Perhaps @Anonymous cna share the font being used and a sample drawing.

I still have the same problem, I downloaded the fonts from him pasted into resource/fonts/ttf.

The video talks about unicode on window but I am using autocad with MacBook.

And I don't know his fonts is support Autocade with Macbook or not?

please help..

But the second video on the page you referred shows that you have to install font with FontBook, but not to resource/fonts/ttf inside AutoCAD application folder.
Have you tried that?

Sorry, but as I wrote before, i don't know how to use khmer input method and i don't know Khmer. And even if I will install Khmer font on my Mac, I will not be able to help you.
Sorry once again.

Is there any way to improve Autocade to support khmer unicode such as Microsoft office, browsers and other software. Those support Khmer Unicode every well..

I'm just regular AutoCAD user as you, so I cannot answer your question.
Maybe some from developer team may answer you.
